Abstract

The author hopes that the analysis provided will point to the inaccuracies in the monkey selfie case and establish the arguments an a legally sound manner. It is hoped that based on the facts of the case and the relevant rulings in the United States and the European courts, we can come to a conclusion about the ownership of the selfies. It is extremely important for the survival and service of independent photographers to be have a universal recognition of the art of photography. Leo Tolstoy remarked that “an artist creates as a way of communicating feelings to other people- oftentimes, feelings that can’t be expressed in mere words”. Such expression is true for all forms of art including that of photography. It has been said by Cicero that the “safety of the people shall be the highest law”. Thus, the law shall protect everyone from unnecessary litigation which is motivated by ill intentions.
